While you may consider your actions stupid I prefer to view your post as a learning experience for those of us who carry out our own repairs. One, when dealing with electrical components,polarity of connections can be critical so if unsure take pic before you start the replacement and then compare to the finished work paying attention to placement…[Read more]

Hi Stuart,

Welcome aboard Justin. Good looking TDr. Red like mine.

What brand of beer? I’ll put a six-pack next to the fire extinguisher.

Yes, welcome aboard and yes, bring her to Carlisle.

Welcome justinThat sure is a nice ride and welcome to the family!

Hi Justin!  Great to have you aboard.  That looks a lot like mine, down to the chrome trim around the edges.  Maybe we’ll see you in Carlisle this Spring.

I worked in West Palm Beach from 2000-2007, had Hurricanes Frances, Jean, and Wilma all hit my house, and in spite of the hurricanes, we absolutely looooved it.  My son went to high school there and returned to Florida to live there permanently. So nice to never see snow … to grow things year-round … to go to the beach or go scuba diving…[Read more]

I lived in Central FL for 5 years and it would take a lot to get me back there. Developers still worked the old fashioned way there: paper bags of hundreds on Xmas and press-gangs of Guatamalans throwing up sh*t-boxes on flood plains.

Comfortable, though not fancy, house on a hilltop in the middle of 12+ unrestricted acres with my closest neighbors hundreds of…[Read more]

This from a web site touting Lake Weir Living:  “HOAs take the fun out of homeownership.??? LWL offers Toy-owners (i.e. RVs, campers, boats, jet skis, motorcycles, haulers and more), new custom-homes with no HOA and toy-fitted garages at prices starting from the $90s!”

Yep. That’s another Dell Webb community. Think Sun City! Will be overcrowded and over expensive in another 3 – 5 years.

We all need to move here:

Hey allIm here in Surf City CA and you are right about the crowding of people. Theyve been building these mega apartment complexes with three to five hundred one to three bedroom units. Rush hour here now lasts all day.I sold my Highland home and we now live in Huntington full time. My wife is retired and I keep most of my business close to home…[Read more]
